I'm in my mid-50's, so a different generation to most of you... but I just don't 'get' the selfies thing! I see them on FB all the time, and they just make me cringe! Especially the duck-faced pout, and the full body ones where they're in a mirror and you can see them holding the phone. I guess I'm not really a 'look at me!' type, so taking a photo so the world can see 'how good I look' just wouldn't cross my mind.
One of my work colleagues posts at least 3 selfies on FB a day, and it's just so embarrassing because she is not cute or attractive AT ALL, and it's just these disturbing photos of her big horse teeth and crazy eyes and birds nest hair.
